for Star Trek Beyond, with special guest/fellow Trek expert, Arnold T.
Blumberg.

brutha, does he have some great ideas for hours of television we sadly
will never see.

All that and a Beyond Red Shirt (a few, actually),
so strap on Kirk's new away team jacket and jump your motorcycle into

This week, we review William Shatner's Chaos on the Bridge, a very
compelling -- and very frank -- behind-the-scenes look at the crazy sh**
show that was the first two seasons of TNG.

The
late then-showrunner Maurice Hurley makes his first on-camera
appearance since 1988 to talk about his time on the Enterprise -- and
he's still mad as hell after all these years. Is this "warts and all"
chronicle of the birth of one of your fav TV shows a must-see? Listen
and find out.

Plus, we discuss Idris Elba’s hints about his
"groundbreaking" Star Trek Beyond character, we’ve got our latest
giveaway (pop-up Star Trek!), and our Red Shirt from Wrath of Khan
literally drops in this week. So crank up your Winamp players and listen

With his new book The Autobiography of James T. Kirk set to be
released next week, author David A. Goodman beams in to talk about how
he filled in the blanks in the Starfleet legend’s life story while also
connecting the dots to the many adventures we’ve seen Kirk have
onscreen. Along the way, David also recounts his time writing the
Futurama episode “Where No Fan Has Gone Before” which introduced The
Original Series crew to the Planet Express gang in classic (and
hilarious) fashion.

David
also offers up his favorite doomed Starfleet patsy for our Red Shirt of
the Week, the needlessly energetic dingbat Lieutenant Mallory from the
episode “The Apple.”

This week we shed a tear over that great TNG episode, which brought
the beloved TOS character to Picard’s Enterprise. This episode of Next
Generation has everything: a bar fight, Picard yelling at Riker, Wesley really yelling at Geordi and more -- Bendii Syndrome for everyone!

Plus,
Patrick Stewart tells us whether or not he’d ever put the Starfleet
duds on again, and a very special Red Shirt glows his silver eyes at us.
He truly went "where no man has gone before" (hint)!

But about
Star Trek Beyond… While we can't say much about our visit to Justin
Lin's first Trek movie set, the few things we can say you're gonna want

And we’re back, putting into spacedock for a little R&R after a busy week at San Diego Comic-Con. But while we were attending the annual nerd prom this year, we couldn’t help but wonder… why isn’t Star Trek at SDCC?

Subscribe:

Sure, Trek is there in various forms, but the big movie aspect of the
franchise has rarely shown its (Vulcan or otherwise) head at the con --
at least in the modern era. In this episode of TR3, we discuss this fascinating
dilemma, while also delving into the current status of Star Trek 3,
a.k.a. Star Trek Beyond. The film is well into production now, and we’ve
got the latest on it!

All
that, plus we memorialize yet another Red Shirt of the Week, though
this time around our guy may not have actually stayed dead…

So head to the Battle Bridge, set phasers for “listen,” and get ready for the latest episode of Transporter Room 3!

Time to feel old, everyone! "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 1" turned 25 last week, and in honor of Lt. Shelby and Locutus hitting the quarter-century mark, we celebrate the legacy of one the best Treks ever.

Subscribe:

From "Family" to "Star Trek: First Contact," Michael Piller's classic
episode lives on long after Riker gives Worf the order to fire. Just
how impactful is it? Listen and find out.

We
also mourn/celebrate another legacy this week, that of the late James
Horner -- the man responsible for providing the soundtrack for many of
our childhoods.

And as always, we bury another Red Shirt -- this
time, one who likes blond tactical experts and watching Picard get his
Prefontaine on.

So Spotify some "Wrath of Khan," modulate those
shield frequencies (random settings, keep them changing -- don't give
them time to adapt!) and listen now to the latest ep of Transporter Room
3!Please subscribe (click the icon) to get all the latest episodes of our podcast automatically. Friend us on Facebook, star-rate us on iTunes, and e-mail us at Transporter Room 3 at Gmail dot com. Also, stalk us on Twitter:

This week, grab some tissues because Scott and Phil break down five
moments Trek on TV made us cry like Geordi at a Holo-diction Anonymous
meeting.

From
a post-Borg'd Picard in TNG's "Family" to Jadzia's death on DS9, we
pick our favorite moments when Trek pulled on the ol' heartstrings.

We
also dive into the Mailbag to share one listener's live-tweeting of old
Transporter Room 3 episodes. (Wha?!) And of course, no episode would be
complete without a visit from a Red Shirt. Today's used to call Voyager
home, until a space cloud killed him…Please subscribe (click the icon) to get all the latest episodes of our podcast automatically. Friend us on Facebook, star-rate us on iTunes, and e-mail us at Transporter Room 3 at Gmail dot com. Also, stalk us on Twitter:

This week, we announce the winner of Diamond Select's very cool USS
Excelsior. Listen to find out if you won, but here’s a hint: Your
favorite ship is a tie between the Enterprise-A and the Defiant!

And
Star Trek loves time travel, and Voyager's Season 5 episode
"Relativity" is one of Trek's most entertaining trips through time ever.
It's got Seven, a dry-docked Voyager and (literal) time bombs. Why is
this episode so good? Listen and found out.

"Relativity" also gives us our Red Shirt of the Week -- who suffers from a case of one too many quantum leaps.

So put on your Star-Lord headphones, watch out for temporal psychosis and listen to the latest episode of TR3!

Actually, not Herbert. Because we did things in style for this
special episode, starting with a visit from our friend and Star Trek
guru Jordan Hoffman. Renowned throughout the quadrant for his Trek
knowledge -- but mostly his ability to sling puns -- Jordan regales us
with tales from the Trek convention circuit and that time he heckled
J.J. Abrams…

But
our main focus this week is a discussion of how Star Trek could, should
and might return to TV. Which cast would feature in a new show? Would
it be the Abramsverse or the old continuity? Is Trek’s best chance at
being reborn on TV to actually bypass traditional broadcast and cable
and go the Netflix route? We dive deep on this one!

And of course
we have a Red Shirt of the Week, and a very unconventional one at that
for this doomed crewman somehow lived again. Plus, we have a very
special giveaway for our listeners: a chance to win the NX-2000
Excelsior from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock from Diamond Select
Toys. This 18-inch long piece features button-activated lights and
all-new sound effects and dialogue taken from the film, including lines
by the ship's douchey Captain Styles!

Click over to DiamondSelectToys.com
to purchase the Excelsior or any of the other ships coming from Diamond
this year, including a revamped Enterprise-A, a re-issue of the NX-01
from Enterprise and a TOS Romulan Bird of Prey. They also have the Wrath
of Khan Enterprise, the Battle-Damaged Enterprise-B, the Nemesis
Enterprise-E, the “All Good Things” Enterprise-D and regular and
cloaking Klingon Bird of Preys. But don’t forget to listen to the
podcast for your chance to win the NX-2000.Please subscribe (click the icon) to get all the latest episodes of our podcast automatically. Friend us on Facebook, star-rate us on iTunes, and e-mail us at Transporter Room 3 at Gmail dot com. Also, stalk us on Twitter:
